Songs in the key of surprise

the astonishing compositions & music of Mr. Blue

In the past 20 years, Sean has created and produced more than 75 songs, from pop ditties to epic symphonies. Working with Peter Fox, he's created two musicals, and then with Fox and Sandra Bishop he is in the process of creating two more. Blue worked with Fox and Bishop and Steve McCormick to create the 144-song Moonlight Project, still in the creative process, and is now at work with Fox and Bishop on a musical about the Grimm Brothers and their fairy tales, recording at Brooklyn Pearl studios in Dumbo. Looming above all of these efforts is the ballet symphony "Wildbird" written with Ariel Francis as a 33-minute odyssey about a young bird who is determined to exact her revenge for an oil company's spill in her home.

Skipper

by Seanie Blue

Skipper is a memoir and was never intended to be an audiobook. But the first few chapters were recorded by Sean, whose voice has been described as a "velvet foghorn," and the reactions were firm: more, more, more. So here is partly recounted the very strange childhood Sean spent as the son of a gentleman spy in Lebanon, and then on the run in Asia and Europe as a massive search for the family was organized by Skipper's ex-wife and the U.S. government.
